Philipp and Martin Storr • Managing Directors

oelheld is a medium-sized company, which has more than 130 years of tradition and experience. Since the foundation in 1887 by Carl Christian Held, oelheld has become an established specialist for lubricants. Partnerships, research, and human resources technology have grown as a valuable tradition of which we are proud of.

Numerous customers and machine manufacturers along with national and international universities have partnered with us to develop high quality lubricants. Through this cooperation we are able to focus inten-sively on meeting and adjusting to specific requirements on a wide range of different manufacturing pro-cesses. Our laboratories are equipped with state-of-the-art analytical equipment and numerous application testing systems that guarantee today’s demanding requirements, and many of tomorrow’s ever changing new standards.

„Innovative product development, strengthened by continuous quality control

and comprehensive customer service, is the key to the success of our products.“

The right lubricants for the forging industry

Increasingly demanding and complex forging processes require new developments of release agents that re-duce the number of forming steps in the process.

oelheld's AirForge products (glass coating) for the aerospace industry have been established in the interna-tional market for many years. Now, oelheld is increasingly penetrating the market of water-miscible forging lubricants, both in the hot and in the warm forging industry, e.g. in the automotive industry.

Whether with or without graphite, i.e. black or white, the outstanding properties of AirForge products meet the highest demands. We are also well positioned in the field of oil graphite products.

Tell us your requirements and optimize your manufacturing process with the right product of our AirForge series.

AirForge – Glass Coating

Advantages

Protective effectIt was our goal to develop a protective and lubricating glass coating layer for each specific forging tempera-ture which would ensure an optimized material flow during the forging process for different materials such as titanium as well as nickel-based and steel alloys. The AirForge protective layer surrounds the workpiece and prevents hot gas corrosion and hydrogen diffusion. In addition, good thermal insulation properties ensure optimum material flow throughout the forging process.

Health benefitsThe AirForge Glass Coating product range has been developed in accordance with the latest EU directives and does not contain any hazardous substances such as lead, bismuth, chromium or organic solvents.

High elasticity of the lubricating filmThanks to the extraordinarily high elasticity of the lubricating film, AirForge Glass Coating guarantees optimal reproducibility, especially in particularly sensitive and inaccessible areas.

Cooling under laboratory conditionsVery good thermal insulation ensuring a lower cooling rate and better material flow during forging process.
